Telepathy let me view an interesting layout in the Vault quest--in the north wing, a sea of minor demons. Facing them in the south wing, a sea of novice paladins. Also at least one white knight started in the demons' area also.

Sting was in the west wing, where I chose to fight while the demons and paladins had it out. Good thing too, by the time I'd cleared west and north, east had become infected with fleas, and south was filling with Quantum dots (I finally gave up on checking treasures in the south wing). I must've spent a day suffering hallucination down there.

Now working my way slowly down Angband proper, hitting quest uniques and just slowly accumulating experience.

The Gachapins were easy thanks to Himring--at least until the third one decided to teleport himself up to Fasolt's area after leaving me a few hydras. Fortunately I was able to kill the hydras in one Massacre, both then and later. I left that third Gachapin be while I took out the queen ants and all their summons, which took the greatest amount of time in the quest.
